With my daughter being dependent upon insulin, and with the whole family trying to eat healthy, we've been on a lower carbohydrate diet.
One thing that has lots of carbohydrates is potatoes so we made a little switch and now are mashing cauliflower instead of mashing potatoes.
The texture will be a bit softer but still similar to mashed potatoes. Add salt, butter, garlic etc to taste. Again, if you want to change the taste to make it more familiar, mash in 1 potato with 1 large cauliflower or mix in some instant mashed potatoes so you have roughly 3/4 cauliflower and 1/4 potato.

If you prefer the taste of potatoes or dislike the taste of cauliflower you can mix in some potatoes (or even some instant mashed potato flakes) to alter the flavor so it is more like mashed potatoes.
Take 1 large head of cauliflower and steam it until it is soft. Break it apart into chunks and run them through a food processor to 'mash' them. Be careful with water, you want to shake off any excess as the mashed cauliflower can be runny if you add water or don't drain the steamed cauliflower. 1 large head will make 4 small servings.
